[Fwd: [ldap] re: Are DN's case-insensitive ?]

Some of you guys were discussing the unspoken aspects of DNs regarding 
case and normalization rules. 


Remember the conversations regarding the name parser and normalization?


Here are two emails from a umich/OpenLDAP list clarifying the 
normalization rules.  Not this is in the server side context which 
effects clients.  Basically the schema of the attributeType for the RDN 
within a DN determines the case of the value as well as the whitespace 
normalization rules.
